Thanks to Christian for the nice links & to Ernie for this cool listing. I would use some of this frameworks in an article about PHP framework performance.

@David:
I agree, that there may be too many frameworks out there. But I doo think, that the PHP community has not yet focused on the main aspects in (web) software development. These are – in my eyes – performance, reusability (to gain efficiency) and software design. If you take these points for comparison only a few frameworks are suitable.

If you consider performance, zend is not realy at the top. See http://adventure-php-framework.org/Page/103-Yii-vs-apf/~/sites_demosite_biz-action/sites_demosite_biz-action/setLanguage/lang/en or http://www.yiiframework.com/performance for example. With reusability by design, IMHO only Mojavi/Agavi and the APF are still in the game. The sofware design criterion is a very selective criterion, too, because most frameworks do not cover this chapter as it should be. Software design is one of the most important things, due to the fact, that poor performance often comes from poor design or wrong design focus!

I do not understand why so many different frameworks are being built. It seems that if everyone pulled their features together there would be one incredible framework that could have a single configuration file that would allow you to choose to use ORM or not, choose to use Smarty or not, etc ad infinitum. There could also be overides for those who prefer writing xml or sql to those using convention. Please team up guys and gals. I would love to see at most one rails inspried framework and one agavi style framework. Until then could someone at least rank these frameworks in terms of adoption, community support and deployment? I imagine Zend is at the top but that is just a guess.

Yes strictly ezComponents is a component library, not a framework. But given the size of the library, the consistency in how it functions, I made the decision to include it. I possibly should have also included PEAR.
I have no problem calling Zend a framework. There is a framework there, it is up to the developer do they want to use it that way, or just take components they need.
